In recent years, there has been a rapid decrease in amphibian populations worldwide, and infectious diseases have been associated with this decline. Diseased frogs inhabiting Korea were collected from fields, and the diseases were identified by morphological and molecular analyses. Two fungal diseases-saprolegniasis and chromomycosis-were detected in the frogs. Saprolegniasis caused by Saprolegnia spp. was found in Rana plancyi chosenica from Gangwon-do and Rana huanrenensis from Chungbuk. Chromomycosis, which is caused by infection with Cladosporium cladosporioides, was detected in Rana catesbeiana from Busan.
近年来，全球两栖动物数量急剧下降，传染病被认为与此下降有关。从韩国田间收集患病青蛙，并通过形态学和分子分析来鉴定疾病。在青蛙中检测到两种真菌疾病——水霉病和着色芽生菌病。由水霉属引起的水霉病在江原道的东北林蛙和忠北的桓仁林蛙中被发现。由枝孢菌感染引起的着色芽生菌病在釜山的牛蛙中被检测到。
